Police say there are eight additional child victims in a sexual assault case that includes accusations of bestiality, conspiracy to kidnap and rape a child, voyeurism and the making of child pornography.

Police have also introduced new allegations that some children were drugged before they were sexually assaulted.

Shayne Lund, 22, of Midland, Ont., has been in custody since October on 110 sex-related charges.

Two female friends of his are also in custody. It is alleged the women helped Lund get access to children between the ages of two and five.

The new allegations against the three accused include administering a noxious substance to children as young as two years old, coercing children to have sex with animals, coercing them to commit voyeurism and videotaping them in sexual acts.

The mother of one of the children at the centre of the case was outraged to learn of allegations that her preschooler had been drugged.

"I just feel like I'm going to lose my mind," the mother said, weeping as she spoke to QMI Agency outside of court. "This sickens me."

The three were initially charged in September, when it was believed five children were allegedly victimized. With the eight additions, there are now 13 complainants. There is a ban on publication of the identities of all victims.

The new allegations include mischief by damaging the bed sheets of a 10-year old and the theft of underwear.

Another charge alleges Lund forced a 14-year-old girl to perform sexual acts and bestiality with a dog while being videotaped, and then threatened to show the videos to her father if she didn't provide further sexual favours.

While Lund allegedly acted alone in most of the charges, Taylor or Thompson are accused in many cases of assisting him, or committing the acts on their own.

According to one allegation against the trio, a five-year-old child was blindfolded and tricked into a game of taste-testing, with bowls of chips and other items -- including a person allegedly wearing a strawberry-flavoured condom.

Taylor was denied bail.

Thompson waived her bail and agreed to remain in custody.

Lund has not yet had a bail hearing and remains in custody.

The Crown has announced that it will be seeking a dangerous offender designation for Lund if there is a conviction. Such a designation can carry an indefinite jail term.
